"Let Go and Let God" or "Hold out and be Counted Out"?

The choice is yours and the choice is easy!

God sees all and knows all. God knew that we would mess up, that we would do wrong and that we would stray away from righteousness. However, He simply says that even though we are faithless, that He is FAITHFUL and that if we would only confess our sins, that He will forgive us AND purify us of our unrighteousness.

Let's get this...if we would just open up to Him in confession, two things will He do for us:

1) He will and already has forgiven us. We already have a "Get out of Jail free card", Biblically, Jesus has taken the keys to the Gates of Hell from the enemy and He has given us the Keys to the Kingdom! That's Forgiveness when you've been GIVEN THE KEYS!

2) He will purify us from all unrighteousness. This means that all that "Stuff" that we found our self mixed up in, all that "Stuff" that we have been involved with/in relationship with will be washed away...not only washed but cleansed by The Blood of Christ which will make us whiter than snow.

Yes it is true that He ALREADY knows our sin; and Yes, it is also true that He STILL will forgive and purify you...if you will simply confess.

"If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." (1 John 1:8-9 NIV)

Confession: I will not hold out and be counted out any longer. TODAY I'M GOING TO LET GO AND LET GOD!

Prayer: Create in me a clean heart, O God, And renew a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from Your presence, And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your  generous Spirit. (Psalm 51:10-12)

In the name of Jesus, Amen.
